Artist: Saul Bass
Film Description: Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder, the classic 1959 Otto Preminger crime courtroom lawyer murder rape thriller ("'Anatomy...'"; "No. 1 Book!"; "No. 1 Movie!"; "Last year's No. 1 best-seller. This year's No. 1 motion picture."; "screenplay by Wendell Mayes from the best-seller by Robert Traver"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart, in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role), Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Arthur O'Connell (in his nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award role), Eve Arden, Kathryn Grant, George C. Scott (in his nominated for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award role), Orson Bean, Russ Brown, Brooks West, Murray Hamilton, and Joseph N. Welch ("as Judge Weaver"; the real life judge from the McCarthy hearings who did a great job in this classic movie!)
Important Added Info: Note that the style B half-sheet has a small body silhouette with an added large image above it of the stars behind blinds. Personally, I much prefer this style A half-sheet, which is solely the body silhouette image, surely one of the most famous movie posters images there is! Also note that this poster was never folded! An unfolded poster is almost always far more difficult to find than a folded poster of the same title, and finding unfolded posters in excellent condition is even more difficult!
Overall Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There are some faint creases, smudges, and small stains scattered throughout the poster. There was a small V-shaped tear in the upper right background area, and someone put a piece of tape on the back of that. The poster has never had any restoration other than the single tape repair.
